How do i lower my heart rate during an anxiety attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To Lower Heart Rate: I understand your distress of anxiety attack. Anxiety can increase heart rate which can cause more anxiety. Focus on Wonder of 3 million air sacs in your lungs due to which you have been alive and functioning. Speak-BREATH IS LIFE! Take a Deep Breath, feel the Wonder of Lungs, Hold the Breath and keep saying; BREATH IS LIFE! Feel Relaxation Repeat Feel Peace Do Not Focus on Heart.
